Good luck Emily and fellow competitors in tomorrow’s ranch competition at Equitana 🤩

📣 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍! 📣

Emily, 26, and Jaffa, a 9yo gelding, are from South East Victoria. Emily began working with western horses around three years ago and in doing so has gained a passion for finding training techniques that highlight a horse’s natural ability and athleticism in a working environment. This is where her passion for Ranch Riding and Ranch Trail events has stemmed from as she is a firm believer that these types of classes provide a space for all-rounder horses to shine!

Emily & Jaffa have been a combination for the last three and a half years, and Emily couldn’t have asked for a more honest first horse to learn to train and compete on. Jaffa has always been willing to learn whatever is thrown in his direction, whether that be cattle work, reining, obstacle racing or liberty. He has been a privilege to work with ad the reason she wants to pursue coaching other riders and their horses in the Versatility Ranch Horse discipline.

Together their biggest achievements to date so far have been taking out the State Champion Intermediate Horse Ranch Trail and Reserve State Champion Intermediate Horse Ranch Riding titles at the 2024 RHAA Victorian State Show. They also won State Champion All Age Ranch Trail and Reserve State Champion Novice Horse Ranch Riding at the 2023 Victorian State Quarter Horse Championships!

Emily is extremely grateful that RHAA has provided her with this opportunity and she is looking forward to being involved in showcasing what Ranch horses can do alongside the other amazing competitors.

Please join us in congratulating Emily & Jaffa on their selection for the RHAA Equitana Open Ranch Horse Invitational! 🥳

Heaven gained a hell of a horseman, and we lost one of the most innovative minds in the business we will ever see. Sending our love and prayers to his family, friends, and the entire industry.

What does it really mean to train ‘𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞?’

This topic was brought up during our last mentorship call inside the 𝘉𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, and our good friend, Nate Horner couldn’t have summed this topic up any better:

“I have a sign in my barn that says: '𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞.’

It reminds me that, when you train for the horse, you can’t focus on where you think you 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 be — you have to focus on what that horse needs from you 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲.

A lot of times, we look at horses to give us something — like that dopamine rush from a horse understanding our cues. But, we can’t look at it that way. I’ve had to get to the place where I think “what am I offering to the horse to make it a good deal for 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦?”

When you’re not selfishly looking for a result, it changes your mindset to be truly ‘for the horse.’”
